ERROR IN POSTING PAYMENT

WE CHARGED CREDIT CARDS ON INTUIT MERCHANT SERVICES. THEN WENT ON AND POSTED THE PAYMENT ON THE ACTUAL QUICKBOOKS SYSTEM. HOW DO WE FIX THE EXTRA POSTED CHARGES? THE SYSTEM CREATED A NEW CUSTOMER WITH THE DUPLICATE CHARGE. WE NEED TO DELETE ONE OF THE POST NOT THE ACTUAL CHARGE.

ERROR IN POSTING PAYMENT

Let me help you remove the duplicates charges, USACMIAMI.   

 

You can delete those transactions through the customer's account. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to Customers, then Customer Center.
  2. Proceed to the Transactions tab.
  3. Locate and open the payment first, then delete it.
  4. After that, locate and open the invoice, then delete it.

 

Once done, you can start reconciling your bank account. Here's a link as a guide: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Desktop

 

Additionally, I'll include this helpful article about Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's ) about Payments. 

 

Let me know if you have any other questions. I'm always here to help. Have a good day!

ERROR IN POSTING PAYMENT

Not a viable solution.

The issue is that QB created a suspense account called "other customer" and all transaction done processing CC charges were dump in this suspense account. We were doing a two step transaction, first the charge then the credit to the customer invoice. QB would not match to the CC charge to the customer, as there is no invoice nor customer name provision when making the charge. The issue is that we need to clear the suspense account since all transaction are credits and is impacting all our internal financial reports.

We understand now that the two step transaction is incorrect as the company preferences are set to automatic posting when receiving the CC from the customer.

We need to clear the "other customer" suspense account.!

Thanks
